TAMA si [Senator Miriam Defensor] Santiago baka madehado ang claim natin sa Sabah… dapat careful ang Congress sa pagpasa sa Philippine baseline bill kasi parang walang alam ang mga lawmakers na ‘yan sa mga territorial claims ng Pilipinas.
Dapat ‘wag na nating pakawalan pa ang Sabah.

it’s easier to face malaysia on the Sabah issue rather than to face China, Vietnam, etc on the spratley issue.No way can we win militarily against these countries. wishy thinking.
At least malaysia is at least 100 times weaker in military strength compare to China or vietnam. We do have a fighting chance to get it back. With Sabah, we have all the legal claims both undocumented or documented. With Sabah , there is already proven oil and mineral reserve as with Spratley its more on hula hula basis.
As in any art of war it’s better to size up your kalaban first .
In any international diplomacy , might is right.

Let us give up our claim to Sabah. At the rate corruptions in our country is going on, I don’t think we have anything better to offer to the people of Sabah. Our politicians doesn’t have the quality to govern. They are short sighted, they don’t have any long range planning, and our politicians are more interested on how they can short change their citizen.
Just look at the budget they have enacted. One thrillion and two hundred billion pesos. They think that by passing this budget, and without realizing where to get this gargantuan amount, they have already achieve there goal.
What do you read in the newspaper? A president that gives away one billion for military housings, in order to buy their loyalty; in the afternoon, another one billion and a half to buy certfied seeds (as thugh their is enough supply of certified seeds in the first place), and then another 3 billion for food supply (what ever it means).
These is a stop-gap measure, not worthy to a lame-duck president, one who has been travelling all over the globe, and then, and then, out of nowhere, she is face with rice crisis.
Sabah, by any yardstick, has overpass us in commerce and governance. It is a very progressive province, (if that is how you call it.), and to be controlled by a very inefficient governance, will definitely be an insult to them.
Let us keep our dirty linen among our self. They deserve something better than our type of corrupt and inefficient governance.
Come to think of it, the killing season of innocent victims is going on again. Victims are not only killed, they are dismembered and “chop-chop.”
Yet, our government doesn’t even raise their eye-brow on these occurance, Are they too calouse, that they have no more concience of what is happening around them? Where are our Bishops? Are they too blind to these killings aroundl the?
God save our country!

E yung mumuting islang bato ng Spratlys nahihirapan tayo.. E yun pa kayang Sabah?
And I think the Sabah claim is over. Nagkaroon na ng referendum sa Sabah before kung saan nila gusto. Philippines or Malaysia. Malaysia won.. Yun ang importante.. Sabah is in better hands with Malaysia, atleast conservative ang politika sa kanila.
